(A) had elected early retirement rather than face
(B) had elected early retirement instead of facing
(C) have elected retiring early instead of facing
(D) have elected to retire early rather than facing
(E) have elected to retire early rather than face
I was confused between C and E. I choose C because it was parallel to "rising", thus "retiring" , "facing" ...
The OA is (E). Why is "rising" being ignored here? Is it because its "the rising..." and not " ... and rising ..."
